Abstract
The Metooshow is an educational series created for young children and adults interested in childhood learning. “Water Is Wet” uses song, puppet playmates, and observation of children learning and playing in and outside of their classroom to demonstrate the many roles water plays in the cycle of life. The film has lost its blues and greens, but the soundtrack and lessons are still very much intact.
